Liverpool takeover: Mill Financial approached Premier League to seek approval

Plenty to discuss: John W Henry arrives at the London offices of Slaughter and May,

The Premier League declined to consider whether Mill's representatives would be suitable directors because they did not have the authorisation of the Liverpool board.

Mill looked to seek pre-approval so that they were in a position to complete a deal for the club today

A spokesman for the Premier League said: "We will continue to deal directly with the board of Liverpool Football Club and take direction from them with regard to any ownership issues."

This follows after uncertainty over Liverpool’s future deepened this morning when Tom Hicks and George Gillett lifted the Texas injunction preventing the sale of the club.

The move opens the way for Hicks and US hedge fund Mill Financial, which is understood to have assumed control of Gillett’s 50 per cent stake in the club, to attempt to derail the deal with New England Sports Ventures. The two sides are now appear to be engaged in a race against time to win control.

While the restraining order prevented NESV from doing a deal it also stopped RBS from doing a deal with anyone, so its removal was necessary to facilitate any kind of deal.

Hicks and Gillett are due to repay at least £200m of loans to RBS by close of business today. If they fail their leverage in the negotiations may be reduced, but RBS would have to exercise its security against the club, possibly by way of administration, to cut them out of the picture entirely.

Sources close to NESV and the club board said this morning that they believed the lifting of the order was intended to allow Hicks to launch a final effort to remain in control.

Hicks’ and Gillett’s London solicitors Peters and Peters emailed club directors and RBS this morning to inform them that their clients had complied with the order made by Mr Justice Floyd in the High Court yesterday. Their action appears to render this afternoon’s Dallas court hearing into the case irrelevant.

Hicks and Mill are understood to have been in talks for some time over a deal, and their last-ditch efforts over night have unsettled NESV. In a tweet this morning John W Henry said he would fight for the club.

"We have a binding contract,” he said. “Will fight Mill Hicks Gillett attempt to keep club today. Their last desperate attempt to entrench their regime."

NESV believe any such attempt by Hicks would have to be ratified by theLiverpool board and they would be prepared to return to the High Court to have their binding agreement, twice ratified by the board, upheld.

Hicks and Mill Financial’s chances of success appear to rest on their finding a way of repaying RBS that the bank is obliged to accept and the club board cannot stop.

The terms of the club’s financing with RBS, defined in a Corporate Governance Side Letter (CGSL), give Martin Broughton and his fellow non-English directors sovereignty over the articles of the companies and the sale process.

Mill Financial is understood to have already offered to repay the debts but was told by RBS that it had to first buy Hicks’s shares.

Sources said today that Broughton and the board should be able to stop this transaction and yesterday sources close to Hicks said he had not sold them the shares.

That could leave Mill Financial having to repay the loans on a promise that Hicks would then sell them on his take in the club at a later date. If RBS were repaid in a way that bypassed the club board it is hard to see how the bank could impede the sale.

It is thought that any decision would still need to go before the club board, though with RBS repaid Broughton’s sovereignty would be in doubt. NESV would also be certain to seek to invoke an agreement they believe is binding.

The club’s fate now rests on the legal discussions taking place on London and Dallas. Ultimately it may depend on whether Hicks and Mill Financial are able to get £200m to RBS before NESV can.

'Project Runway' Season 8, Episode 12 Recap

[Project Runway - "We're in a New York State of Mind"]

It's the final runway challenge before Fashion Week and like many seasons, the contestants buckled under the pressure. Heidi tried her best to prevent that by allowing the contestants to stay at the Mandarin Oriental's Presidential Suite overnight, giving the contestants two days, and $500. Mayor Mike Bloomberg announced the challenge: design a look that was inspired by a New York City Landmark. I'm still waiting for a designer to use either the New York Public Library or St. Patrick's Cathedral.


Inspirations
Michael - Statue of Liberty
April - Brooklyn Bridge
Mondo - Brooklyn Bridge
Andy - Central Park
Gretchen - Lower East Side

I didn't think that the Lower East Side was considered a "landmark" but none of the dresses that were created had any direct inspiration. This challenge has been done before and the dresses previously had more passion and more flair. None of the dresses looked like $500; they all looked like they could have been done on a $100 budget.

The contestants' two work-days didn't tell us much. With less people, one would think that there would be more focus on the designs. For most of the episode both Michael and Mondo didn't have a dress and Andy's was magically done. We focused on several ideas that didn't happen (Michael's basket-weave shrug and Mondo's attempts at cutting sequin) and watched Mondo sleep.

How the judges loved the dress Michael made was beyond me. Not only was it a very easy dress, the slit was too high, and the whole ensemble looked like a 1980s dress. I guess he was lucky that Heidi likes slutty and that Gretchen and April bombed. Several seasons back Michael Kors would have said, "You could see what the girl had for lunch wearing that dress." Simple dresses can be sexy and fashionable, but a flowing black dress wouldn't be enough to convince me to allow Michael into Fashion Week. Watching the underdog make it through the season was interesting, but don't convince the audience that a simple black dress was enough.

For weeks now, Mondo and Andy both were a lock for making it to fashion week. The fact that Andy was done early and Mondo took a long nap was enough to convince anyone that they were fine. Mondo proved that he didn't need colors. Andy, on the other hand, really needs to get past the "Super Bitch Warrior Woman" designs that he's been labeled with. I didn't see Central Park, but luckily I also didn't see the Chinese prostitute that Gretchen suggested.

In retrospect, Gretchen's story line made sense. The bohemian girl started off with her guns blazing and then buckled and ran out of steam. Her role during the whole show was edited as the "villain" of sorts, but she was really one of the mean girls. This week's dress for her was horrible. The top was a throwaway, the skirt had that tacky leopard on the inside, and the jacket was odd to me. The levels of the stripes and how the jacket didn't fit right upset me as well.

April never had a chance when she picked black and dark fabric. Her dress looked like a pregnant woman's Paso Doble dress I would have seen on 'Dancing With the Stars.' While her cutouts were interesting and I appreciated that she cut out the heavy amount of zippers, the bunching in the stomach was odd. If I judged based on of the top half only, she would have survived Gretchen. If anyone had a chance to look at April's decoy collection, you would have seen that she can do non-black, joyful clothes.

Christian Siriano was an interesting choice for final runway judge because Michael, Nina and Heidi kept putting him in his place. He also pointed out that he only saw one dress and could only judge off that. He appreciated April's idea and design and mimicked the Idiot vs. Idiot Savant argument that Gretchen had about Michael's dress. I had a feeling that Christian's opinions didn't mean much to the other three, but it was nice to see a Bravo season contestant on Lifetime.

Next week is Part 1 of the finale. Who do you think will make it all the way? Leave comments below.

'Project Runway' airs Thursdays at 9PM ET on Lifetime

Kelsey Grammer Divorce:No PreNup with Camille,Girlfriend Has Miscarriage

Bravo’s finally moved up to the ‘big time’ with the airing of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The most talked about subject of the show, the Kelsey Grammer divorce from wife Camille. The footage of the first episode which showed Kelsey Grammer interacting with Camille and their two surrogate kids before Kelsey packed up and flew off to New York City to begin rehearsal for the musical playLa Cage aux Folles. Kelsey Grammer starring as Georges. Back in Beverly Hills, a tearful Camille Grammer waving goodbye then noting Kelsey would be ‘away for a year’.

On April 15, the Reuters reported Kelsey Grammer shines in “La Cage Aux Folles”:

[Snip]

The production has wisely retained the services of Douglas Hodge, the British classical actor who is little known on these shores but who delivers a tour de force (and Olivier Award-winning) performance as Albin, the drag-queen star of the titular nightclub. Providing boxoffice insurance, Kelsey Grammer plays Georges, delivering an assured and charming leading turn.

Back in Beverly Hills, former MTV dancer Camille told the Bravo camera, Kelsey starring in La Cage Au Folles, a great ‘opportunity’ for Kelsey. Camille, unaware the scene of Kelsey departing in his luxury SUV would also be Kelsey’s departure from the Grammer’s 13-yr marriage.

On July 1st, the report from TMZ, Camille had filed for divorce;

[Snip]

The divorce petition was just filed by her lawyer, Neal Hersh. She is seeking joint legal custody and primary physical custody of their children.
Camille — a member of the cast of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” — is citing “irreconcilable differences” and is seeking spousal and child support.
The couple — pictured above on June 13 at the Tony Awards — was married in August, 1997 … they have two kids.

The Grammers’ rep asked for ‘privacy’.

On July 14, the TMZ report Kelsey Grammer — No Prenup!!! :

It’s pretty stunning, since during the run of “Frasier” Kelsey was the highest paid actor on TV … making $1.6 mil an episode at the end of the show’s 11-year run.
As we first reported, Kelsey is asking that some of his “Frasier” money be declared his separate property. Turns out, he was married in 1997, four years after the series launched. So Kelsey’s separate property request only covers the first 4 years. His earnings for the remaining 7 years, as well as much of the syndication money, will beconsidered community property.

According to the Huffington Post, on July 2nd, the ‘last straw’ in the Grammer marriage, Kelsey’s failure to call home for Father’s Day.
[Snip]

We’re told the tipping point for Camille was Father’s Day, when Kelsey was 2,475 air miles away from his family and didn’t call his kids.
As one source said, “She doesn’t know what Kelsey is doing in New York, but he’s made it pretty clear he wants nothing to do with marriage anymore,” adding, “She didn’t see it coming.”

On August 12, the report from Popeater, Kelsey Grammer Steps Out With New Girlfriend:
[Snip]

Just weeks after filing his divorce papers, Kelsey Grammer was spotted holding hands with his new British girlfriend, Kate, in New York.
Grammer’s rep confirmed the couple are dating and “happy together.”
Sources tell the NY Post that Grammer is reportedly “pushing for a quickie divorce because things are moving quickly with his new girlfriend.”
“There is speculation that she is pregnant, but he wants to finalize the divorce before making any announcement,” the source added.

On August 12th, the Reuter’s report Kelsey Grammer’s girlfriend pregnant:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer’s new girlfriend Kayte Walsh, a British flight attendant, is pregnant, according to an interview with the woman’s father published in The Daily Mail newspaper.
It is unclear how 55-year-old Grammer met the 29-year-old Virgin Atlantic employee. Grammer filed for a divorce from his third wife a few weeks ago

On August 13, OK Magazine reported Kelsey Grammer Plans to Wed Pregnant Girlfriend:

In the midst of divorcing his wife of 13 years, Kelsey Grammer didn’t hesitate to move on and find love again. The former Frasier star reveals in new reports that not only is he ready to tie the knot again, but that his new girlfriend is pregnant.
Spotted out with Kayte Walsh on their way to jeweler Harry Winston’s on Friday, Kelsey told TMZ that he is, “very happy” and plans to walk down the aisle once heclears up, “other stuff.”

The ‘other stuff’ Grammer’s divorce from Camille.
On October 11, the report from CBS News Kelsey Grammer’s Girlfriend, Kayte Walsh, Suffers Miscarriage:

NEW YORK (CBS) Two months after they announced they were expecting, actor Kelsey Grammer and girlfriend Kayte Walsh have revealed she suffered a miscarriage.
“We lost our unborn child about six weeks ago,” they said in a statement obtained by People magazine. “We would like to thank all of those who expressed kindness and concern but we needed a little time to heal, time to find some solace before we publicly

7 Year Old Girl With Huntingtons Disease Gets Toy Store Shopping Spree

POSTED BY KELLIDAISY ON OCTOBER 15TH, 2010 AT 7:06 AM

7 Year Old Kathleen Edwards suffers from Huntington's Disease

If you’ve heard about Kathleen Edwards, the 7 year old girl withHuntingtons disease who has been taunted and bullied by the grown neighbours of her grandmother, you no doubt wondered how anybody could be so cruel and inhumane to treat anyone, no less a child, that way. Well, it seems a group of people from around the world felt the same and donated funds, to the tune of $17,500, so that Kathleen could go on a shopping spree at a toy store!

Little Kathleen was picked up in a white limousine and, along with a police escort, was driven to a local toy store to begin her day of fun. But, unlike other 7 year olds who would go crazy in a toy store, the first item Kathleen picked out was a toy frog for her father, because she knows he likes them. She also picked out presents for his 2 sisters.

Hans Masing is the owner of Tree Town Toys where Kathleen had her shopping spree, and the person who helped start the fundraiser after reading about Kathleen’s experiences;

“I empathize with Kathleen and her family about what they are going through,” he said.

And not only are the funds that were raised providing a great day for Kathleen and her family, but according to the Daily Record, 10% of the money will go to the Edwards family to help with costs, while any money left over from the girl’s shopping spree will be used to purchase toys for the Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan, kids in hospice, and other kids in the area with Huntington’s disease.

Kathleen’s father said, ‘”Let’s benefit some other kids, too. She’s not the only one suffering,” Ten percent of the $17,500 raised with his store’s help goes to Kathleen’s family to help with anything she may need. The money that is left over after the girl’s shopping spree will be used to buy toys for kids at C.S.Mott Children’s Hospital at the University of Michigan, kids in hospice, and other kids in the area with Huntingtons disease.

“Let’s benefit some other kids, too. She’s not the only one suffering”.

I’m so glad to hear that some good came out of this awful situation for Kathleen

yeh zindagi raftaar se chal padi

samajh lo zara yeh
hawaon ka ishara, mere yaaron
apna har din aise jiyo

jaise ki aakhri ho
apna har din aise jiyo

whenever we know we are having a blast you know it o o…
living every day, like it’s your last, you know it o o…
living for today, letting go of the past, you know it o o…
give it up, give it up, everybody say o o….

khushiyan sab haath mein rahe

Is This a UFO Sighting in New York?

UFO in New York: Is This a UFO Sighting in New York? – There seems to be a lot of buzz in UFOs. After the recent UFO sighting in China and inner Mongolia which prompted the halt of airline operations, a new UFO sighting, this time in New York, has been the talk of many speculators.
The UFO sighting buzz came from a lot of twitter chatters. A video has been posted in Youtube about this alleged UFO in New York caught in a day light with clear sky. Some said that it was just a set of balloons flying in the sky while others say that  it was just an optical illusion in the sky. Below is a picture shared in Twitter of the alleged UFO in New York:

However, based on some arguments thrown by those who saw the alleged UFO sighting in New York, they cannot be considered as balloons because they are not drifting or moving but they are hovering. Others said it lasted for over 45 minutes so definitely it cannot just be a set of balloons.
A spectator who also saw the alleged UFO in New York posted a video below. What do you think about this alleged UFO in New York? Is this a some sort of a spaceship of what we know as Extra Terrestials or aliens from other planets?
